==Plot==
The novel takes place in an unnamed 20th-century European town. The narrator, known only as the Baker, is digging a hole while another man, the History Teacher, watches. Gradually it becomes clear that the hole is to be a mass grave for the villagers gathered nearby under the guard of a group of soldiers.
The novel focuses mainly on the conversations between the baker and the history teacher while the grave is being dug. Topics include Genghis Khan, the Battle of Little Bighorn, Sun Tzu's ''The Art of War'', and the bombing of Dresden.
After the hole is finished, it is revealed that the History Teacher has elected to be the first man shot, so that he does not have to see the others die. The Baker is allowed to live.
